It may have taken a Waterford injury-time blitz to separate the sides in Dungarvan two months earlier but there was definitely no doubting the result this time around as James O’Connor’s side soared to a first All-Ireland Minor Hurling title in 12 years in FBD Semple Stadium, Thurles.
In front of an electric 16,411 attendance, the Déise emphatically banished a barren two wins from 16 matches in the previous six seasons to record their sixth victory of the campaign in style.
